Nobody is going to tell you who you are going to have for neighbors or up stream. Find someone you trust, that has the contingency plan you feel comfortable with and connect to them. They don't even have to be in your neighborhood. Any plan will have the potential for failures. You might control your IPIP tunnel but what if your ISP goes away? Is the device that is running your tunnel on redundant power? Does it have redundant networking with failover and portability of your encapsulating IP address? Does very end point you want to talk to have those capabilities? At my day job, every dollar that comes into our company arrives on an RJ-45, and it falls into my area of responsibility to make sure it stays up and we have failover and contingency plans. I understand these things. (I use geographically dispersed data centers, multiple carriers, redundant servers, etc. but there is still the potential to go down, at least temporarily, even even with service level agreements.) I also understand that ham radio is a hobby.. ------------------------------ John D.
